The Yuba-Sutter Transit Authority, operating as Yuba-Sutter Transit, is the public transportation agency serving the Yuba–Sutter area in Northern California.

Service

[edit]

Yuba-Sutter Transit runs six local bus routes in Marysville, Yuba City and surrounding communities, running hourly or half-hourly between 6:30 am and 6:30 pm Mondays through Saturdays.[2][3] There is also weekday commuter and midday service to Sacramento along Routes 70 and 99;[4] three rural routes to Live Oak, the Yuba County foothills, and Wheatland;[5] and Dial-a-Ride service available to seniors and those with disabilities as both a paratransit and door-to-door service, with general public availability offered after 6:00 pm.[6]

Fares

[edit]

The basic one-way fare is $1.50 on local fixed routes,[3] $3 on rural routes,[5] and $4.50 on commuter and midday express services.[4] Dial-a-Ride service has a base fare of $3 during the day and $2 after 6:00 pm for senior (65+), Disabled or ADA certified.[6] Up to two children 4 or under may travel free with a paying adult on any route. In addition, on all routes except the commute-hour Sacramento service, a 50% fare discount is provided to seniors 65 or older, youths from 5-18, and disabled riders with approved ID.

Ticket sheets are available in denominations of fifty cents (for $10 per sheet) or seventy-five cents (for $15 per sheet), and they are good on local and rural routes, Dial-a-Ride, and routes serving Sacramento. Monthly passes valid on local fixed routes are available for $30 to the general public and $15 to youths, seniors, and the disabled.[2][7] Any discount-status passes are also valid on rural routes. For commuter services a monthly commuter pass costs $135, and a combined Yuba-Sutter Transit/Sacramento RT monthly pass for $185.[4]
